Cinema is a way of shedding light on hidden realities and raising the volume of silenced voices. The link between cinema and society is close and, as in all arts, cinema is often a reflection of reality seen through the artistic eye. It is also a medium that appeals to emotions in a very direct way: cinema makes you feel, it makes you put yourself in the shoes of those who suffer injustices.

Unfortunately, in most commercial film houses, the diffusion of certain kinds of film is practically impossible. One of the objectives of the festival is that works of great cinematographic quality which focus on social issues, including stories of denunciation, mobilization and overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, reach the Catalan public. The Protesta team believes that another world is possible, and hopes to contribute to making the world a better place by promoting social change through cinema.
